Mandela's health condition has been described as critical.
In a statement late?on Sunday?evening, presidential spokesperson Mac Maharaj said the condition of the former President "had become critical".
Mandela enters his second week in hospital for a recurring lung infection and this is the first time that his condition has been described as critical.
